A TATTOO IS INTENDED TO BE A PERMANENT DRAWING THAT REMAINS ON THE SKIN FOR OUR ENTIRE LIVES. THE IRREVERSIBILITY OF THE DECISION TO GET ONE IS PROBABLY THE MOST WORRISOME FACTOR. AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS THIS IRREVERSIBILITY THAT MAKES A TATTOO EXCEPTIONAL AS A WAY TO EXPRESS OURSELVES.
However, most people delay the decision to get their first tattoo, preceding it with considerations about possible consequences. There are also those who see it as an act of courage. And we're talking about the times, which we have happily outgrown as a society, of the stigmatisation of body adornment itself.
It's not an expression of rebellion and opposition to society as a whole. It's rather about finding self-assurance and translating doubts into a conscious choice of a motive, that we identify with and that will always accompany us.
